Thank you from Nunez and the Helsells | Letter

Published 12:52 pm Tuesday, April 29, 2014

We want to thank everyone in the Orcas community who wrote letters and made phone calls to our Senators Murray and Cantwell and representative Larsen.

We also want to thank the “Islands’ Sounder” and Cali Bagby, Eleanor Hoague, Pete Helsell, our state Senator Kevin Ranker, Councilman Rick Hughes, Julie Remington, Gulliver Rankin, and anyone else we should have mentioned. It was an impressive community effort. We and Nunez are extremely grateful.

We have traveled to Enforcement and Removal Operations at the Seattle ICE office, with your letters, to file a “Request for Stay of Deportation” and are now awaiting their decision.

Jack and Jan Helsell
